the rifles of our Confederate friends, but
the task was only accomplished after
vexatious delays and at considerable per-
sonal risk. The removal of the last cap
increased our courage and our determi-
nation to jump from the car the moment it
reached the north side of the Congaree
river. This precaution would facilitate
our fight, providing no injuries were
sustained in leaping, as the guards would
be unable to discharge their rifles, the
only means they had Of sounding an
alarm-the train being without bell
rope. We hoped for the best and
anxiously awaited the moment fraught
with so much interest.
The shades of night were beginning to
envelop the earth as our train crossed
the long, rickety wooden structure span
ming the river, but owing to section of
trestle-work beyond, Captain Todd de-
clined to give the signal to jump, the
moments, meanwhile, hanging heavily.
The wheeling wood burning locomotive
at length gained terra-frpsG and increased
its speed, and for time 1t appeared as
if the favorable moment had passed,
never to return. Neither of us could
consult the situation, as the guards con-
tinued to occupy the space uncomfort-
ably near the door, And besides it was
now too dark to distinguish anything
within or without, save the light-colored
sky over the dark tree tops-that was
all.
| It would be useless to affirm that my
mind was calm and serene, or that had
no misgivings as to what might be the re-
suit of the contemplated frightful leap
into unknown space, attended as it must
necessarily be by many dangers. But
the intense excitement into which our
minds had been thrown-the resolve to
seek liberty, and freedom, and home and
friends, oyercame every fear of peril, and
the instant that Todd, who stood nearest
the open doorway, gave yell, we sprang
from the car, and, for time, at least,
were free.
We had no leisure to reflect upon the
terrors of our new situation. Fortune

for practical purposes. Besides, three
rifle flashes (the train was not more than
a mile distant) warned us that If we
would have perfect freedom, much still
remained to be accomplished. At once
striking off into dismal cypress swamp
which lined the rivers bank, the rain
falling heavily to our great Joy, we
placed as much space as was possible
between ourselves and our excited pur-
suers; and throughout the long night
we heard with fear and trembling the
loud baying of blood hounds, and the
rough voices of those detailed for the
pursuit. Water, however, effaced our
tracks and destroyed the scent of our
footsteps, and when daylight broke

we hear OF n raid on poker game,
negro craps game, or n Chinese bung
loo Joint, but the big la:o banks, with
their incidental convenience for roul-
cite, chuckaluck, stud poker aud short
cards are allowed to run along undis-
turbed by the police. Some rather
brisk adventures are recorded ~ con
nection with the experiences ol the
great throng who seek the bubble Tor
tune even at the tigers Jaws. Into
Clark street resort, day or two
ago, came old Dywer Smith, a grizzled
veteran OF the field OF the cloth oiG"een,
who is part proprietor oil iaro bank
OF West Madison. Smithhad a roll OF
$500, the Joint property oil himself
and partner, and he had come over
the river to make a play Having
flashed his bundle and announced his
intention, Smith requested that the
table be cleared and himself lett to en-
ter the Jungle sngle-halided and alone.
This was done and he sat down with
casekeeper and tab, and the duel began.
Smith, WHO'S n cool, daring, desperate
player, after three hours got up from
the table with little over $4,000 of
the banks money. His next move
was to 20 back to his own place and
report the results to his partner-Ha-
gan by name,

And this is what they did-old

straight games, and inside of ten min
utes he had not n dollar to show for
his big play, while liagan was $4,000
richer. Hagan took the first train for
New Orleans, and is now having agor-
geous winter picnic.
An odd episode occurred recently,
in which n Skin" gambler named
Sanders made remarkable plunge.
He had lust finished modest meal in
Boyles chop house, and had paid his
last nickel to the cashier, when he no.
ticed counterfeit silver dollar which
had deem taken in during the day.
whats that dollar doing there, all
by ITSELF" he asked.
"Cause it's q counterfeit" said the
cashier.
Sanders asked for and obtained the
worthless coin, and with it steered
straight for the nearest faro bank.
He put it on the ace.tray, and those
cards won four times for him. The
dealer had failed to notice that the
dollar was bogus and in a very short
time Sanders caehed in Sl2l and quit
playing For the odd dollar he receiv-
ed back the identical coin with which
he had started to play. With singu
lar fatuity he refused TO receive this
particular piece OF money because it
was counterfeit. The result was to
draw attention to the TACT that he
had won $500 without risking n cent,
and thc irrte dealer and his assistants
forthwith Jumped on the young man
and took every penny away from him,
not even letting him get away with the
original counterfeit dollar.
